Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Kajiyama applied for the sustainability benefit and rent support benefit for the new coronavirus measures by the 15th in principle for businesses whose documents have become difficult to prepare due to the reissue of the state of emergency. He said he would extend the deadline until the 15th of next month.
The government provides "sustainable benefits" that provide up to 2 million yen to small and medium-sized enterprises whose sales have declined due to the effects of the new coronavirus, and "rent support benefits" that reduce the burden of rent. However, as a general rule, the application deadline was 15 days.
Regarding this, Minister Kajiyama said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on the 15th, "Some businesses have difficulty preparing application documents due to the reissue order of the state of emergency. A simple reason for the application deadline that was set until today If you make a request by the end of this month, you will be allowed to submit the documents until the 15th of next month. "
After that, he said, "I would like to respond flexibly to the circumstances of the applicants, and I would like them to actively utilize it."
